    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group
    Virtual Event

    It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]

  • Improving Communication: When No One Understands

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    Have you ever left a conversation thinking, “They just don’t get it.” Grief can make everyday conversations feel exhausting. From “How are you?” to “You should be over it by now,” navigating communication after loss can feel overwhelming — especially when people misunderstand your grief. If you’re grieving and struggling with relationships, boundaries, or what to say when others say the wrong thing, this free online grief support event is for you. Event Details Thursday, April 23, 2026 4:00–5:00 PM EST Online via Zoom Free registration required at: https://bit.ly/4tULgoh

    Death Stories: A Gathering For Those Who Have Witnessed Death

    The Death Stories events are a monthly opportunity to practice sharing a life experience that folks typically don't get a chance to talk about. It's not a webinar or a workshop: it's an hour spent talking about death that is likely to utterly transform your life. Each month, we’ll also be joined by a very special guest whose work touches on death, storytelling, and meaning-making. We will work together, spend some quiet time in personal reflection, and then move into small connection groups to share our own death stories. Then we’ll come back together to marvel at what happens when […]

    You’re Not Stuck. You’re Grieving.

    Choice Cremation 907 Rivergate Parkway Ste A8, Goodlettsville, TN, United States

    Grief doesn’t follow a timeline and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. After a loss, life keeps moving, but something inside often feels different. For some people it’s heavy and overwhelming. For others it’s quiet, confusing, or shows up in waves they weren’t prepared for. And in the middle of all of that, many people are left wondering if what they’re experiencing is normal or if they’re somehow doing it “wrong.” This conversation is meant to help take some of that weight off. You’re Not Stuck: Life After Loss is a space to talk openly about what […]
